VBA/CATScript memory leak

[peter_m]

Hello Everyone

I have read that memory leak when running scripts in Catia is a "feature", but until now I didn't realize that it leaks like a sieve. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I wrote a simple script to test this:

Sub CATMain()
	Dim oDocument As PartDocument
	Dim oPoint As HybridShapePointCoord
    
	Set oDocument = CATIA.ActiveDocument

	For i=0 To 10000
		Set oPoint = oDocument.Part.HybridShapeFactory.AddNewPointCoord(0, 0, 0)
		oDocument.Part.HybridShapeFactory.DeleteObjectForDatum oPoint
	Next

End Sub

Below screens from task manager before running script, after first run and the second:

CATDUA shows no errors, garbage collector should clean oDocument and oPoint at the end of the script, so where is the problem?

Regards
Peter

Just realized I have same problem with one script...

I'll put a counter as global parameter (so it will stay in CATIA Session) and remind user to close session if counter reach some TBD value...if user keep working with leaking script I'll change background color to RED. Final step the script will simply close catia and wish user good night!

Who said scripting was not fun

Or use something like this . I've done something similar but working without administrative rights. I'm thinking to integrate in my TST .
